2018
From the time that I was an intern, OSPA has been vital in shaping my career as a school psychologist. Timely professional development, access to the listserv, and perhaps most importantly -- connecting with collective wisdom and kindred spirits of OSPA members and the executive board has been a source of energy and wonderment. Suffice it to say, it was a privilege and honor to be able to serve as OSPA President. Like many before me have noted, the time from President elect, to President, to Immediate Past President seemed like the blink of an eye. It was humbling and inspiring to serve alongside so many passionate and talented members of the executive board. Having witnessed the work of the board, as well as the membership at large, there is little doubt that the strength of OSPA will continue to further its mission of advocating for the educational and mental health needs of children and youth. I continue to admire the membership in their advocacy for children and the commitment to the profession. While there are too many to thank, know that behind the scenes, there are several important individuals that made my time as OSPA President all the more enjoyable. A special thanks Rachel Chilton and Anne Brennan who were vital in that time. In closing, I wish to thank everyone who advocated for, and continues to make OSPA the organization that it is. Know that I am deeply grateful and humbled to have served as President.
